Pedro, do you know how money laundering works?
Can you see how it's super important for criminal enterprises so that they can function?
All of this is in the public record:
Did you know that Semion Mogilovich took over the mob in NYC while Giuliani was mayor there? He rolled on the mob for Rudy and then filled the vacuum.
Or, that Mogilovich was on the FBI's most wanted list until they realized in 2015 they could not extradite him from Moscow where he lives comfortably?
Or, that Aleksander Litvinenko a former KGB/FSB who defected to Britain and was an expert in handling organized crime, called Mogilovich a friend of Putin soon before Litvinenko himself was fed a lethal dose of Plutonium 210? A recent January 2016 official inquiry has called Litvinenko's death likely due to Putin's orders.
Or, that Mogilovich has been angling to set up a gasline from Ukraine to Europe for maybe ten years. Gotta spend all that money somewhere. It would be so great for them to put it toward an investment to make a whole lot more money...
Today we learn that Trump is not wrong (in the EU hottalk), if he means that the German people will be beholden to Russia for their energy if a gasline is put in. If Russia gets to keep the parts of Ukraine they stole and, western UIkraine is no longer allowed to remain sovereign, if Germany and east europe agrees to such a pipeline, if people agree with Trump that security is no longer tenable in europe (simply because Trump says it shouldn't be) and that all trade with all parties is suddenly up for grabs, then, Putin and Mogilovich will get their way. A whole lot of 'if'.
Don't forget, Trump and his heirs also owes $200-400 million + to... Deutschebank. So Trump wants a deal for himself.
By the way, did you know that Friedrich Drumpf and the Manafort Brothers worked with Frank Costello in NY, and Bert Morrison in Vancouver (bootleggin), and Marcello in New Orleans (slots). It turns out DJT built his reputation of bankrupting casinos by turning a profit, in bankruptcy. It's a way of getting dirty money to go away, or to turn dirty money clean, or recoup losses after paying off
some certain qualified 'investors', like the mob, like 'real estate developers'. Then that money can be laundered. Shall I name some of those companies?
I know, hands over eyes and ears: "LALALA I can't hear you!"
Guess what, the FBI knows
ALL about it.
They just couldn't believe the country and then the electoral college would vote for him. Or that the Russian meddling would be so effective in 2016.
But guess what? They're still doing it.
Meanwhile, Charlie Rowley the Brit that was in a coma for the last ten days woke up today. Also poisoned by Novichok, the Soviet era poison, Rowley's girlfriend died Sunday. Wonder what he knows or what she knew? Or was she just collateral damage. Sends a powerful signal.
Also of note, Brian Benczkowski is the new head of DOJ Criminal Division - confirmed by the Senate today - after working last year for Russian Alfa bank. Did they launder Trump or Manafort money? We'll likely never know now.
And by the way, Russian people I've met are wonderful.
When asked about the mob they shrug. 'I don't know them, but when they ask, you pay them. Then they go away.'
The mob and money laundering is an international scheme.
The other half of it is in distribution of goods and services.
Where are you in that pipeline? Downstream? Way downstream?
If you are not, someone is keeping you in the dark and out of the slush!
And yet you are so loyal.
